Re: Loading images with bad extensions

I suspect the behavior I've come across is related to that in the
06 Feb 2009 post:
Re: Loading images with bad extensions
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/eog-list/2009-February/msg00005.html
It refers to:
Bug 490067 - eog does not sniff mime type
which is still listed as new.

But since it is another reason for maybe changing the code I'll
describe my situation.

I keep most of my pictures in one folder that I call "1pix" when I
use an image on my web pages I use a script that moves it to the
folder that is echoed to the web, checks permissions and creates a
link in 1pix to it.  The link is named <filename>.<ext>.lnk
where <ext> is JPG or png etc.

This results in not having two copies of the picture taking up space
and yet I can find the picture in 1pix and indicates which images are
on the web.

If I click on <filename>.<ext>.lnk in Nautilus it gets displayed in
EOG.  However if I click on next while viewing an image alphabetically
just before <filename>.<ext>.lnk , it gets skipped.  I regret this
behavior.

I'm thinking about changing the names of the links to be
<filename>.lnk.<ext>  but I prefer having .lnk at the end which for
example allows for searching for <filename>.<ext> and finding either a
link or a picture (tho searching for <filename>. would still do that).
